Kostas Kloudas commented on FLINK-6244: --------------------------------------- The only problem I can find, and we have to think of how to handle, is backwards compatibility. The already existing {{CEP}} programs (if any) would expect the timed-out patterns in the old format ({{Either}}). I would suggest that the best way to see how to proceed is to open a discussion in the dev mailing list with the proposed change. This will allow us to see 1) if anybody uses the CEP library, and 2) if users that already have a running job are ok with the change. What do you think? > Emit timeouted Patterns as Side Output > -------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-6244 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6244 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: CEP > Affects Versions: 1.3.0 > Reporter: Dawid Wysakowicz > Fix For: 1.3.0 > > > Now that we have SideOuputs I think timeouted patterns should be emitted into > them rather than producing a stream of `Either` -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
